What is a good microphone for speech recognition? / Re: Good mic in 2020

« on: July 24, 2020, 08:18:57 AM »

That is a pitty. Im using hubitat smart home hub and would be able to control everything via voxcommando - and this locally. So no cloud listening and no lag at all. But without a decent mic its all useless. I believe so far no one has found a way to directly connect alexas or google mics to voxcommando? Also what do you mean with what you said about the wakeword and cloud? I thought voxcommando could also be triggered by wakeword?

I found a lot of multimic arrays on amazon (jabra, emeet) that should function like an echo/echo dot. They are used for conference meetings. But I have no idea how far inferior these are to the mic arrays used in an echo dot.

Also I read stuff about boundary mics which should be good for voxcommando. What about the current beyerdynamic ones? https://www.beyerdynamic.de/bm-32-b.html

What is a good microphone for speech recognition? / Good mic in 2020

Ok so it's 2020 now and many of the mics recommended here arent available anymore.

I'm looking for a "room" mic as good as the ones used in amazons echo. Is there something like this? Or is the echo still the best quality wise? Using voxcommando to me entirely depends on whether I can find a mic that works for me and my family. As much as I love this programm...if I can't use it properly I am forced to resort to the mainstream products (google, amazon). I tried the emeet m0 but sent it back as accuracy was bad (I didnt do speech training though). Im not sure if the emeet m2 is any better. Support so far hasnt answered my question if it has better mics than the m0. Are these conference mics (emeet, jabra etc) recommendable at all?

Hope there are still some active users here willing to share their  experiences.


Best regards!

Thanks for your answer! Yeah there is a web api. I dont know what you can do with it though as Im not a programmer. Please keep us updated. It would be really awesome if voxcommando could control spotify. I wouldn't need alexa then anymore.

Thanks for your answer!....I understand. Other services like amazon or google music are equally hard to control I guess?

A totally different question: I don't get the difference between the two speech engines. What would be the best solution for German in your eyes? Thank you!
